Hard rock sampling tips?

[Assembler]

I really admire you guys out west trying to pry some gold from the ground. It’s hard work, dangerous and costly. Your rewards are well earned for sure. I think if I grew up in gold country I would have gotten hooked. 👍🏻 Stay safe!

Good point about being safe.
In some areas there have been many thousands of people covering the same ground so going under ground is what is left in some spots.

Even if you are not in gold county you can be the first to spot some things that others just walk right over and maybe find a little color.

Yes. I got a sandbag of each, trying to sample horizontally at each level. One from the top gray material, one of only the deep red, and one of the lower brecciated clay filled tan quartz.

If you happen to just find micro gold / values in this zone may have had liquid / gas iron just passing through or by passing in the near by fisher / fault lines with not much precipitating / dropping out.

You may be able to follow the better part of this reddish quartz to a line where the temperature is more in line of a pocket / precipitating out. Get out some magnification to help with the looking process you may spot this with your eye's in only very good light.

You could start to spot some specks with your eye's as you follow this line looking for event changes to start with.
